The reason behind my last emails
|
It’s simple. ​ I’ve shown you how smart people can make stupid mistakes. How costly they are. How amazingly common they are. ​ The wrong team, the wrong assumptions, the wrong risks transferred. Simple. Foreseeable. Evitable. ​ But… ​ You see them over, and over again. ​ You and I as taxpayers pay the price. ​ And if you work in infrastructure… and you are in these “saraos” (projects), you can pay an even higher price. ​ Endless nights without sleeping, hours and hours wasted in never-ending meetings, irrespirable ambiance at work, having to go to the toilet with a lawyer next to you, demotions, bye, bye bonuses, and much more. ​ Not worthy to be there. Not worthy to make those evitable mistakes. ​ So, next week I’m doubling the price of my reflections about my last project, Puhoi to Warkworth highway, that you have below. There is too much value there, and the price is a joke. Compare it to the value of those lessons and what you can get from them. I know it, people that have bought know it, and even some of you have written to tell me just that. ​ So, if you were hesitant, now it’s the moment. Tomorrow, it will be also a great moment. You’ll just be paying more.

Yesterday a subscriber told me that writing every day was too much. Too much pressure. I answered back as Grant Cardone would do. “Sir, you’re confusing my belief and passion in knowing this is the right product for you and your company with pressure. Please don’t misinterpret my enthusiasm for pressure. Now, let’s do this”. To all people with passion. To all people that love to deliver better infrastructure. This is for you. The top 15 Lessons of a successful project The top 15 lessons of a...
These days, still in Spain, I had the opportunity to talk to many infrastructure professionals. Things are slow. Bad. Nothing new. Construction companies are risk averse. They prefer private clients now… aka, data centers and batteries. Projects are small. Lenders are worried. Etc. Look. Every guru out there is writing, talking, showing "projections for 2026"... It's as typical as the new year eve. It arrives every year. Together with their mistakes. And my friends, gurus included, forget...
You learn by doing. As Robert Kiyosaki said if you think that mistakes are bad, you’re doomed. Imagine yourself with this attitude: “I’ve taken action, I’ve made some mistakes, and now I can learn from those mistakes”. In this case, you’ll be a much richer person. In your pocket and your mind. “People who must be perfect, or cannot allow themselves to make mistakes, are often people without much 20/20 vision. They are the people who make the biggest mistake, which is to fail to learn from...
